PUC Stars Rise from Giraffe Learning
PRNewswire
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], May 20: Students from Giraffe Learning, a Bengaluru-based coaching institute, have posted impressive results in the 2nd PUC board exams this year, with multiple state rank holders and a long list of high scorers emerging from its classrooms.
Ananya Prashanth (PCMB) and Goutham R V (PCMB) secured state ranks 8 and 9 respectively, with scores of 98.5% and 98.25%. PCMC students Josephine Liang and Latika Agarwal were among those tied for 15th rank with 97%.
Reflecting on her preparation, Ananya said, "What really helped me was the way Giraffe taught core concepts. The focus wasn't just on completing the syllabus but on understanding how to apply it -- especially for CET-style questions."
Goutham echoed this, adding, "The teachers were always available, even after class hours. They gave us enough mock tests and past paper practice that I never felt unsure walking into the final exam."
Beyond the state ranks, Giraffe students continued to perform strongly across the board. Over a dozen students scored 95% and above, including Shakthi R, Syeda Hafsa, Md. Abrar, Ashra Rumana, and K Loihith, among others.
Josephine Liang, who secured the 15th rank in PCMC, shared, "The teaching style at Giraffe was very grounded. They didn't overcomplicate topics or rush through them. It was very focused, especially in the months before the board exams."
Faculty members at Giraffe credit the success to their curriculum design and student tracking system. "We work closely with each student to ensure their understanding is solid -- whether it's theory for boards or application for CET/NEET," said Sherif [HoD, Mathematics]. "Our strategy isn't about overwhelming students with material. It's about delivering the right content, at the right pace, with the right amount of testing."
According to the institute, a separate track is maintained for entrance exam preparation, with specific KCET and NEET sessions beginning early in the academic cycle. Students are given dedicated practice material, targeted doubt-clearing sessions, and full-length mock exams.
As the academic year transitions toward competitive exams, attention now turns to KCET and NEET results. Given the board exam outcomes, many of Giraffe's top performers are expected to continue their strong showing.

Samsung assembled more mobile phones in India than Apple last year
Korean firm makes more phones across most segments and has higher volumes: S&P report Surajeet Das Gupta New Delhi Listen to This Article Samsung's global volume share of final assembling of smartphones in India might not get the same focus as that of Apple Inc because of the latter's aggressive export strategy and higher average selling price leading to higher value. But in terms of volume, the reality is that Samsung is much higher than its US rival. A research by S&P Global shows that Samsung's share of global final assembly volume of smartphones in India in 2024 was at 25 per cent compared to only 15 per cent of the Cupertino-based Apple Inc in the same period. For Samsung, its biggest exposure

UP to fast track setting up of 15 industrial zones for MSMEs across 11 districts
Lucknow: As part of its goal to make UP a one trillion-dollar economy, the Uttar Pradesh govt has decided to establish 15 MSME-focused industrial zones across 11 districts. Sharing details, officials said: "The draft blueprint prepared by the MSME department outlines that a total of 764.31 acres will be developed for these industrial estates. Across these estates, 872 industrial plots will be available for investors to set up their enterprises. This will not only strengthen the MSME sector in the state but also play a vital role in achieving the one trillion-dollar economy target." The department's roadmap includes a state-wide campaign to create a substantial land bank. As part of this, the process of making land available for the 15 MSME estates in the 11 districts is underway. They further said that the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is also working on a major plan to boost the MSME sector and has reserved 500 acres of land for setting up MSME units in its upcoming development zones. Additionally, the Greater Noida-based Flatted Factory Complex, to be developed by YEIDA in Sector 28 of Gautam Buddha Nagar at a cost of Rs 125 crore, will offer state-of-the-art, multi-storey factory spaces. The construction process is expected to begin soon, with the master plan and other technical reports currently in progress. The complex, to spread over 38,665 square meters, will be completed within 24 months, providing modern, well-equipped units for MSME enterprises. This multi-pronged strategy by the Yogi govt is designed to make Uttar Pradesh a manufacturing powerhouse, especially by empowering its MSME backbone with world-class infrastructure and investor-friendly policies.

Policy to help promote sale of ‘Made in UP' wines in retail stores soon
Lucknow: The state excise department is planning to make it mandatory for retailers to start stocking indigenous wines produced from fruits grown in UP on their shelves. Acting on the representation forwarded by the vintners (winery owners and operators), the department will soon present the proposal before the state cabinet to amend the existing policy and rules to create a minimum quota to promote its retail trade. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The four winery operators in Lucknow, Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur, and Noida would benefit from the move, as would hundreds of local farmers within the catchment area. Though provisions were made in the excise policy to start manufacturing wine from locally produced fruits in March 2022, the commercial operations of the wineries are yet to begin in the state. "The idea behind introducing local wine was to help farmers generate increased income. But until our products find space in the retail ecosystem, achieving financial viability will not be possible," said Muzaffarnagar-based Sanjay Gupta, who desperately wants to enter the retail market with five different local wines produced from mango, litchi, jamun, grapes, and mixed fruits for a year. Since the UP govt decided not to impose excise duty on 'Made in UP' wines, retailers showed no interest in stocking the products in the stores. "Every retailer has to provide a fixed income to the excise department through the liquor trade. Called MGQ (minimum guarantee quota), it is mandatory for retailers to purchase a minimum quantity of liquor bottles in a month to assure a certain fixed revenue to the state," said a Lucknow-based retailer. Over the sale of country liquor, English wine, and beer bottles, a hefty portion of the price is paid as excise duty to the state coffers, helping retailers achieve the MGQ. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As the sale of local wine would not generate any excise duty for the state, retailers will not be able to achieve MGQ in return. "That is why no retailer shows interest in stocking local wines and instead focuses on the products which have higher demand," the retailer added. A senior excise officer said provisions need to be made in the existing policy to create a sub-quota within the MGQ to promote local wine.
